The forecast for the UK capture fisheries of Blue Whiting Poutassou shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, with prices per metric ton rising incrementally each year by approximately 0.01 EUR. The base value was not explicitly stated for 2023; however, assuming consistency, increases suggest a stable market environment with slight positive inflationary trends. Year-on-year change is negligible at around 0.01%, and the 5-year compound annual growth rate remains minimal.
Future trends to watch for:
- Environmental impacts due to climate change affecting fish population and productivity.
- Policy changes in fishing quotas and regulations.
- Shifts in demand from emerging markets and changes in consumer preferences.
